    Could Gaelic Warrior end up in this?

    Mullins knows what mark to expect now.

    Gaelic Warrior has so many entries he could end up running in two races by mistake
    I think it depends if Willie rates Impaire Et Passe or Champ Kiely a better prospect for the Ballymore.
    He seems to think Facile Vega is his best novice so he could easily be the only bullet in the Supreme
    9/2 NRNB with Hills is not too bad. He’s 7 top price but I can see him being 9/2 top price or even shorter if confirmed for this.

    He started something mad like 13/8 last year and he’s a better horse now, so that could well be right.

    Also Willie has kept Gaelic Warrior to the minimum trip so far
    I have no doubts he’ll get further but would you go up in trip first time at the Festival ie the Ballymore or at least have a prep at the distance beforehand

    “Would you go up in trip first time at the Festival ie the Ballymore?”

    That is what Mullins did with Sir Gerhard last season.

    Sir Gerhard had previously run in a 3 mile point to point though

    I don’t think p2ps are much of an indication of stamina personally

    Some of the horses that win these p2ps wouldn’t stay that far in a horse box in a proper race now

    They must jog around most of the time

    6 minutes 15 seconds on yielding to soft about 17 or so seconds slower than the King George ran on soft

    I’m laughing at the prices.
    Nearly as bad as Nathbet… :yes:

    HMS Seahorse won well at Navan today and Paul Nolan confirmed this is the target.

    He ran well in the juvenile handicap last season and must have a fair chance here.

    Ballyadam @ 16/1 NRNB

    A nice run today and hoping a step up in trip can do the trick. A few points bigger would of been nice but NRNB is worth it.

    Ballyadam to me is definitely a bit of a muggy horse, he’ll just always cost you. I will bet him here though if he is declared, and I’ve a feeling he’ll be one of my more serious punts if he is. 20-1 ap price though, so no thanks right now

    Won’t want heavy rain but I can’t see many safer e/w bets all festival than the favourite, Camprond at 7/1, in this.

    EDIT – had posted about Langer Dan but realised he’s going for the Martin Pipe instead.

    And on reflection I’m not convinced in my above post re Camprond any more, the more I look through the race the less he looks like good value, way too short imo.

    I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw Winter Fog was the top weight in this. He’s an alright horse I suppose but if he’s officially the ‘best’ horse in this race before they get handicapped then this is not much of a race as Cheltenham handicaps go.
